What you’ll do
Giga is seeking a Senior Quality Engineer, Transformers to own transformer quality end-to-end at our Houston factory. You will build and run the ISO 9001 quality system and personally execute IQC, IPQC, FAT, and OQC inspections against IEEE, ANSI, and UL standards. You will manage supplier quality, lead plant quality technicians, root-cause defects, drive Lean/Six Sigma improvements, and represent quality with customers during complaints and on-site FAT witnessing.
Where you’ll work
We are an in-office culture — velocity matters when you are building physical infrastructure, and the best decisions happen in the room. This role is ideally based in our Houston office, with full-time onsite expectations outside of bi-weekly WFH Fridays.

Write and execute test protocols (routine, type, and special tests for transformers and switchboards).
Create and process FAI, NCR, and SCAR documentation, investigating quality issues at the point of occurrence.
Run supplier qualification, evaluation, and audits, driving SCARs to closure and partnering with supply chain and procurement on vendor improvements.
Lead and collaborate with plant Quality Technicians to ensure product quality.
Work directly with Engineering, Manufacturing, and Supply Chain to close out non-conformances.
Perform root cause analysis (8D, Fishbone, 5 Whys) and execute Lean/Six Sigma initiatives to reduce defects and waste.
Track and report KPIs, including defects, rework, customer complaints, FPY, and FAT first-pass yield.
Handle customer complaints and warranty claims, and represent Quality on-site during FAT witnessing, audits, and site acceptance.
